One thing that's important to clarify is that the mapping of metadata exercise referred to in the G-8 charter is about standardizing the type of metadata. It has nothing to do with what CSEC does or information that they do or don't collect.
It is about defining standards for describing data sets internationally. For instance, if we were going to define standards for how we would describe a lake and the geospatial qualities of a lake, all jurisdictions would describe those geospatial properties with the following four, five, or six attributes and these would be understood internationally. If we were mashing up data about a lake from data sets in the U.K., the U.S., and Canada, we would be working with the same kind of data but from individual data sets with information from different jurisdictions.
